My day so far

Today was the day to clean up and organize my room in preparation for Lisa coming. :-) I don't want her to think I live in squalor.

So I:

• did my outstanding laundry (including my sheets!)
• vacuumed using the awkward and heavy central vac
• took out my garbage
• washed all my dishes*
• went through my Food Box and reorganized everything in it
• put away my clean laundry nicely
• organized all my Stuff, putting it in tidy places.

My room almost looks habitable now.

*this was an adventure. I took them upstairs to the kitchen to wash them. At the end, I turned off the water and heard -- water noises. I looked down, and lots of water was coming out of the cupboard beneath the sink.

Leak.

So, I got paper towels, cleaned up the mess, and then spent a long time tracing down the leak. Turns out the seal on the handheld spray device is gone, so when the water is turned on, it leaks like crazy.

So I cleaned it all up, put a note on the sink saying not to use it, and my job there was done. :-) I'm glad it's not my house. The landlord can deal with it.

Finally, I'm mostly done. It's only 11:10, so I made pretty good time. I started at around 10:00, after I talked with Lisa and took a shower. The place was due for a cleanup, and it looks pretty good now (well, as good as a place can be without furniture, everything stored in random boxes, etc.

Actually, now would be a pretty good time to take some photographs. :-) I'll stage the place, and then do that next. What fun! :-) I'm pretty sure it'll be entertaining to look back at photos of this place in years to come.
